Definition[]

Cyber vulnerabilities are

susceptibilities or insufficient defenses in the protection of an asset or group of assets and capacities from cyber threats.[1]

Overview[]

"The primary 'values at risk' from cyber threats and vulnerabilities are an entity's assets and reputation. Because of critical dependencies, the consequences on these assets could be the result of a larger, cascading event beyond the entity's direction or control."[2]
